    Rishabh Pant, the 23-year-old marvel, did the unthinkable when he played an undefeated 89-run innings to help the Indian cricket team defeat Australia at the Brisbane Cricket Ground during the final Test of the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, while shattering the hosts’ 33-year-old record of not losing a match at the Gabba. 
    While on his way to achieving greatness, Pant also helped the Men in Blue bag the series for a second consecutive time after they’d won the series on Australian turf back in 2018-19 for the very first time in Indian cricket history.

    In an interview with Hindustan Times, Pant spoke in detail about the mentality with which he’d stepped on the Gabba pitch on the final day of the match and played the greatest knock of his international career. 
    “From when I walked out to bat in Brisbane, it was already in my head that we had to win the match. I never gave a second thought for a draw.”
    “I was trying to keep us, as a team, in the game for as long as possible. Puji bhai and I had short targets in mind – 15-20 runs here and there and play till the end of the session and things like that,” he added.

    “Right at the end, when only 30-40 runs were left, they gave me permission to go for the target. But before that, I was doing whatever I could to keep us in the chase,” Pant said.
    One of the biggest upsets for the young cricketer out of the series was missing out on a well deserved century during the second innings of the Sydney Test. 
    Pant was batting at 97 when he gave up his wicket to Nathon Lyon.
    Pant is in trouble!

    “Gaadi ka engine hota hai na. Start karo toh thoda agar 5-10 kilometre chalta hai, phir uske baad smooth ho jata hai (Imagine the unused engine of a car. You have to drive it for a few kilometres before it smoothens out),” the southpaw explained his innings which started out slowly (Pant had made just five runs in the first 33 deliveries) owing to the elbow injury he had endured in the first innings of the third Test and the pressure of playing on the final day of the match.
    Reliving the moment he tried to get his ton with a hero shot which ended up going into the hands of Pat Cummins, Pant said: 
    “I thought the ball was there to hit. I still think so, even now.”
    “Yes, I mistimed it and didn’t get a hundred. But I am going to try the same shot if that ball is bowled again at me. That’s how I play and that’s what I think,” he added.
    The Lyon roars!

    The dangerous Pant is gone and there's another twist in this cracking match! @hcltech | #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/rfvR17fAp8

    “Every time you hit the ball in the air, you are taking your chances. So why not try for six runs? That’s what I think… If you’re trying to hit a six, like me, I know that sixes only fall outside the ropes and outside the ropes there are no fielders. So if you have done everything right, there is no problem,” the daring cricket spoke.

    Rohit Sharma may not be a horophile, but boy does he know how to pick his watches.  

    Like all cricketers, he too has a taste for some wonderful timepieces.
    © Rohit Sharma
    Hardik Pandya has some really cool and super expensive pieces from Patek Philippe. 

    Virat Kohli has an amazing collection of Rolexes. KL Rahul, seems to be a fan of Audemars Piguet. 
    Rohit, who is a massive fan of pieces from Hublot, actually seems to love classics, across all brands.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Very recently, Rohit Sharma was spotted in Mumbai wearing a timepiece from Rolex that will surely go down as a classic, simply because how difficult it is to get one’s hands on it right now.

    © Viral Bhayani
    But first, let’s have a look at his outfit.

    Rohit was seen wearing a rather understated outfit, with a very basic T-shirt, and a pair of steel-grey coloured shorts. 
    The pair of Adidas originals sneakers that he paired with his ensemble actually sits harmoniously. 
    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like the fact that he chose to go for a light coloured mask, and a cool baseball cap to tie it all together.

    © Viral Bhayani
    His watch though had to be the highlight of his ensemble. He is seen here with a Sky-Dweller from Rolex. However, the piece that he is wearing is not just any regular Sky-Dweller.

    © Viral Bhayani
    The one the Rohit is wearing has the optional black dial, called the Bright Black. 

    Normally, the Sky-Dweller comes with a blue or a white face. Given that Rohit’s watch has this neat little customisation, it already is a rarity.
    © Rolex
    Then there is the fact that the Sky-Dweller is an extremely collectable piece, that horophiles across the world are desperately trying to get their hands on. 

    Like most Rolex pieces with a perpetual movement, this watch too has an insane waiting list. 
    © Rolex
    Although the watch retails for Rs 10.67 Lakhs, including the fluted bezel and the oyster bracelet, getting your hands on one with a black dial is pretty tough. 

    If you are a fan of Rolex, you will find it much easier to get your hands on a Sky-Dweller with a blue face.
    © Rolex
    All in all, that’s a really great piece that Rohit has there. It certainly is a future classic.

    In another bizarre episode of ‘this happens only in India’, a couple allegedly murdered their two daughters. Recently, V Padmaja, principal of Masterminds IIT Talent School in Madanapalli town of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh, was brought in for a Coronavirus test to the Taluk hospital after she allegedly murdered her two daughters.
    After she refused to get tested for Coronavirus, she said, “Corona did not come from China… it came from Shiva. I am Shiva and corona will be gone by March.”

    She said this to the medical staff who attempted to get a nasal swab for an RT-PCR test.

     Padmaja and her husband Dr. V Purushotham Naidu, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Vice-Principal at the Government Degree College in Madanapalli, have now been arrested for allegedly bludgeoning their two daughters. They killed their two daughters Alekhya (25 years old) and Sai Divya (22 years old) to death with dumbbells at their home.
    On Tuesday evening, the couple was presented in front of a civil judge and the couple walked in calmly and will now be kept in Judicial custody for 14 days.
    The police tried to piece the story together from the statements given by the couple and also from people who know them. They also collected evidence from the crime scene that led to the murders of their two daughters.
    © BCCL
    DSP of Madanapalli taluk, Ravi Manohar Achari, said, “It seems like the whole family was involved in some extreme religious belief. The deaths are a result of this.”

    The policeman who was involved in the custody of the couple after their arrest said that they were in it together. The couple had moved into the plush, three-storey house in August last year and surrounded their house with paraphernalia such as lemons and aloe vera linked to religious ceremonies.
    A police official said, “The parents had no injuries on them but seemed to be in a trance, saying the girls will return.”
    However, people who knew them said that it’s hard to believe that the couple were involved in occult practices or have murdered their daughters.

    A worker at the Masterminds school said, “I have known the principal of the Masterminds school for over 25 years. I cannot believe she could have done this.”

    A police official said, “It seems one of the girls told the parents that they can only get rid of evil by killing them (the daughters), but that they would not die. We have to verify if anyone in the family received treatment for mental illness.”

    Kangana Ranaut is known for voicing her opinions and never mincing her words. She has been vocal about what she thinks and expresses it via tweets on Twitter on serious matters. She once again took to her Twitter to question Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh and actress Priyanka Chopra.
    For the unversed, India celebrated its 72nd Republic Day, and farmers who were holding a peaceful protest for over two months and waited for the government to repeal the farm laws suddenly resorted to violence. The farmers were only supposed to do a tractor rally in New Delhi on Republic Day as a sign of their unity and how they wanted the government to accept their terms.
    View this post on Instagram
    Instead, things got out of hand and violence took place at many locations in Delhi. The farmers were seen clashing with the police personnel in several parts of the national capital.
    Also, soon after videos and photos of farmers hoisting their flag at Red Fort surfaced on the internet, Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter and wrote, “You need to explain this @diljitdosanjh @priyankachopra Whole world is laughing at us today, yahi chahiye tha na tum logon ko!!!! (This is what you wanted, right?) Congratulations."

    In another tweet, she wrote, “This is not a tight slap on @diljitdosanjh face this is what he wanted. He got what he wanted and this nation gave him this on a platter.”

    She has been speaking against the farmers for a long time and she expressed in a tweet how that made a few brand deals slip out of her hands. She wrote, “Six brands canceled contracts with me some were already signed some were closing n said I called Farmer terrorists so they can’t have me as an ambassador. Today I want to say each and  every Indian who is supporting these riots is also a terrorist including anti-national brands.”

    She also posted a video on her Instagram handle saying that the riots and protests have made a mockery of the nation on the global stage. She said that all those supporting the protest should be sent to jail.

    The head coach of the Indian cricket team and one of the most polarising members of the Indian cricket fraternity, Ravi Shastri was unintentionally trolled by Google, the search engine which calls him 119-years-old on the right-hand side of the page where all major celebrities and athletes’ descriptions are available when looked for.
    Although, the information shown on the first page is often derived from numerous websites which share details about a certain person including their Wikipedia and Facebook pages, none of these two websites mention that the former Indian skipper was born in 1901 - over a century and a decade ago.
    Google on high 🤣🤣 Ravi Shastri 🤣 pic.twitter.com/uYmwoPtNJt
    — DhawanCricketr (@DhawanCricketr) January 26, 2021
    The search engine also mentions that Shastri made his international Test debut in 1981 (vs New Zealand) which is factually correct but that would have meant that the Mumbai cricketer’s very first appearance at the age of 80, if he was indeed born in 1901!
    Obviously, it didn’t take long for the eagle-eyed fans of the Indian cricket team to spot the hilarious error and use it for comedic purposes:

    — Vℹ️KÏ️ËDℹ️Ã (@vicky_sharma___) January 26, 2021Over the years, Shastri has been criticised as the head coach of the Men in Blue. 
    People have called him out for things like not showing up to the press conferences after tough losses but being the first to chat when the team has achieved something exceptional. 
    Exhibit A - following India’s 36-run second innings at the Adelaide Oval during the red-ball series against Australia.
    Where you were when India bundled out for 36? A coach should face the media in both good and bad days. Shashtri is seen only when India wins. Pathetic leadership from him.
    — Amit (@petroamit) December 29, 2020
    Falling asleep during ongoing matches on numerous occasions and some unfiltered comments made by him in the middle of series over the years have not helped in making a case in his favour either. 
    However, it is safe to say that the critics are quickly running out of excuses to not acknowledge Shastri as one of the top head coaches out there, currently.

    Team India has done some remarkable work under the tutelage of Shastri, including defeating Australia in a Test series on their own soil for the very first time in the history of Indian cricket back in 2018-19 and breaking the 33-year record of them being undefeated at the Gabba in the last match of the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy which recently concluded.

    Cricket Australia recently told the International Cricket Council (ICC) that they were unable to identify the people present at the Sydney Cricket Ground during the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy who had racially abused Indian Test debutant pacer Mohammed Siraj.
    According to The Age, the CA investigators "have cleared the six men ejected from their seats during the Sydney Test of racially abusing Mohammed Siraj."
    Well this is some proof......

    "CA, which is awaiting a final report from NSW Police, is satisfied that the six men who were walked out of the lower tier of the Clive Churchill and Brewongle stand by police on the fourth afternoon of the Test did not make remarks of a racial nature to players," the newspaper said.
    "The report (of CA to the ICC) says while they believed players had been racially abused, CA investigators were unable to identify the culprits," it reports.

    Day four of the Sydney Test had come to an abrupt halt when a 26-year-old Siraj walked up to the match officials and informed them that he was being racially abused by a few people in the stands while he was fielding at the boundary.
    Back then, Siraj had pointed towards a crowd of six fans who were escorted out of the stadium by officials. Ever since, the CA has cleared all of those people saying that none of them were the real culprits, as reported by The Times of India.
    The Age also reported that the Australian cricket board "interviewed multiple Indian players and took witness accounts from spectators, among them people who contacted CA to volunteer what they saw and heard during the match."
    "Sources now say the Indians had warned on the ground that they wouldn't resume play until their complaint was acted upon," the newspaper said.
    "CA was told the men were singing to Siraj, who after complaining to umpires then pointed in their direction when police arrived."
    The fact that despite such a massive offence had taken place on Australia soil and that CA could not do anything about it has enraged the fans of the Indian cricket team as well:
    Ofcourse they couldn't. Smh. Those racist bastards got away without any consequences. Such instances are truly condemnable and honestly expected better from CA.

    A 16-year-old student from Noida, Uttar Pradesh was awarded the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP) for outstanding contribution in the field of innovation. Chirag Bhansali from Delhi Public School, Noida created a website called SwadeshiTech which offers a tool for finding alternatives to Chinese apps and products. The website was launched soon after the crackdown of the government on apps of Chinese origin.

    The PMRBP award is given to those who have shown potential in various fields including education, sports, innovation, arts and culture and bravery. The award was given via video conferencing and PM Modi asked children to keep three pledges in mind. The first pledge was of consistency; ”there should not be any slackening of the speed of the action," said PM Modi.

    Bhansali is a self-taught coder who took online lessons on Udemy and YouTube which enabled him to build the website after the ban. He learned to code at the age of 12 and has previously designed websites that offer tools for designers. He was inspired by innovator Sonam Wangchuk’s video which called for the boycott of Chinese products in the country. Bhansali created the website in five days and improved upon it for the next five days. The website has several categories for apps and offers Indian alternatives for each app that was banned.

    SwadeshiTech lists many applications and product alternatives where it clearly highlights apps that are of Indian origin. The website gives alternatives to social media apps, shopping, finance, productivity, security, photo editing, utility amongst many other categories.

    Bhansali is also the recipient of three consecutive gold medals at the National Mathematics Olympiad. Apart from previous laurels, Bhansali has also won the Design Championship 2020 and was a Runner Up at Adobe Creativity Challenge in 2019. Bhansali was amongst 32 other children who won the PMRBP for various accolades including computer programming, application development, innovation, bravery amongst others.  
    During the video conference, PM Modi also acknowledged children’s role in behaviour-change campaigns such as the hand-wash campaign during the COVID-19 crisis.

    Guru Randhawa is a renowned name in the Punjabi music industry and his popularity is widespread. 

    However, calling him just a popular singer would be an understatement, as he is also a fashion aficionado who has time and again wowed us with his sartorial statements. 
    If you ask us, Guru has a strong fashion sense as he is usually seen wearing zany athleisure and normcore pieces. 
    To elevate his fashion game, he is also seen in some awe-inducing pair of sneakers.
    © Viral Bhayani
    It's not very common to see singers wearing such swanky shoes, but Guru proves it otherwise every time he makes an appearance. Be it at the airport or while he is promoting his new song, his ensembles and sneakers tend to stand out.
    © Viral Bhayani
    As for the rest of the details of his outfit, Guru's ensemble is on-point and an ideal way to fly in style. The comfortable, puffy leather jacket is sitting well classic blue denim and a black T-shirt. 
    You also can't miss checking out his accessory game. We like how he has paired a black shawl over this look. That, with his oversized square sunglasses, added more edge to his overall look.
    All in all, the pair is quite rad and cool and surprisingly affordable as well, considering other pair of shoes that we have seen. Way to go, Guru.
